Leek Vegetable Seeds Packet

£1.70
Leeks (Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum) are a hardy, cool-season vegetable from the onion family, valued for their mild, sweet onion-like flavor. Unlike onions, leeks do not form bulbs; instead, they produce long, white stems with dark green leaves. They are commonly used in soups, stews, and various culinary dishes, offering a subtle yet flavorful taste. Leeks are easy to grow and can thrive in a home garden or container, making them a popular choice for both beginners and experienced gardeners.

How to Plant Leek from Seed

Preparing for Planting

  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  2. Loosen the soil to at least 12 inches deep.
  3. Add compost or organic matter to improve fertility.

Sowing Seeds Indoors

  1. Fill seed trays or small pots with seed-starting mix.
  2. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, spacing them ½ inch apart.
  3. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
  4. Place in a warm area with temperatures around 65-70°F.
  5. Expect germination in 7-14 days.
  1. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in rows 12 inches apart.
  2. Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart once they reach 3 inches tall.
  3. Continue hilling soil around the stems to blanch them.

Transplanting Seedlings Outdoors

  1. Once seedlings reach 6-8 inches tall, harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions.
  2. Dig trenches 6 inches deep and space rows 12-18 inches apart.
  3. Plant seedlings 3-4 inches apart, burying them up to the base of their leaves.
  4. Gradually fill in the trench as the leeks grow to encourage long, white stems.

Pro Tip

For long, tender leeks, practice blanching by mounding soil around the stems as they grow—this keeps them pale and mild in flavor. Plant them in deep trenches and keep the soil consistently moist.

Bonus: A light frost improves their sweetness!
